several papers have reported that parallel heuristics or hybrid approaches combining several heuristics can get better results. However, the parallelization and hybridization of any search methods on the single CPU type computer need enormous computation time. that case, we need more elegant combination method. For this purpose, we propose Fast Model of Parallel Heuristics(FMPH). FMPH is based on the island model of parallel genetic algorithms and takes local search to the elite solution obtained form each island(sub group). In this paper we introduce how can we adapt FMPH to the job-shop scheduling problem notorious as the most difficult NP-hard problem and report the excellent results of several famous benchmark problems.

Pig monitoring applications consisting of many tasks can take advantage of inherent data parallelism and enable parallel processing using performance accelerators. In this paper, we propose a task distribution method for pig monitoring applications into a heterogenous computing platform consisting of a multicore-CPU and a manycore-GPU. That is, a parallel program written in OpenCL is developed, and then the most suitable processor is determined based on the measured execution time of each task. The proposed method is simple but very effective, and can be applied to parallelize other applications consisting of many tasks on a heterogeneous computing platform consisting of a CPU and a GPU. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed task distribution method on three different heterogeneous computing platforms can improve the performance of the typical GPU-only method where every tasks are executed on a deviceGPU by a factor of 1.5, 8.7 and 2.7, respectively.

Even though many studies on parallel rendering based on PC clusters have been done. most of those did not cope with non-uniform scenes, where locations of 3D models are biased. In this work. we have built a PC cluster system with POV-Ray, a free rendering software on the public domain, and developed an adaptive load balancing scheme to optimize the parallel efficiency Especially, we noticed that a frame of 3D animation are closely coherent with adjacent frames. and thus we could estimate distribution of computation amount, based on the computation time of previous frame. The experimental results with 2 real animation data show that the proposed scheme reduces by 40% of execution time compared to the simple static partitioning scheme.

A battery is the device that transforms the chemical energy into the direct-current electrical energy directly without a mechanical process. Unit cells are connected in series to obtain the required voltage, while being connected in parallel to organize capacity for load current and to decrease the internal resistance for corresponding the sudden shift of the load current. Because the voltage droop down in one set of battery is faster than in tow one, it amy result in the low efficiency of power converter with the voltage drop and cause the system shutdown. However, when the system being driven in parallel, a circular-current can be generated. The changing current differs in each set of battery because the system including batteries, rectifiers and loads is connected in parallel and it makes the charge voltage constant. It is shown that, as a result the new batteries are heated by over-charge and over-discharge, and the over charge current increases rust of the positive grid and consequently shortens the lifetime of the new batteries. The difference between the new batteries and old ones is the amount of internal resistance. In this paper, we can detect the unbalance current using the micro-processor and achieve the balance current by adjusting resistance of each set. The internal resistance of each set becomes constant and the current of charge and discharge comes to be balanced by inserting the external resistance into the system and calculating the change of internal resistance.

This paper describes parallel event-driven remote IT convergence applications which are a combination of traditional industry and IT Technology including advanced communication. In IT convergence system, events can occur currently from many sensors of devices or users. And IT convergence system must have a parallel processing method. In this paper, the parallel processing method was implemented using a thread and we developed a connection method between a device and a mode of communication which is a wireless communication or a power line communication. In addition to that, we developed object modeling, device, user and event modeling, based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) using object-oriented modeling method. To efficiently show results in real time, systems provide various graphic user interfaces such as a bar graph, a table, and a combination of the two.

And the filter provides a high parallelism due to the principles of threshold decomposition and binary processing based on positive Boolean functions(PBFs). In this paper, we develop an one-dimensional parallel algorithm for the optimal stack filter on two parallel computation models, MCC(Mesh-Connected Computer) and CCC(Cube-Connected Computer). The running time of the optimal stack filter depends mainly on the binary median operation and our algorithm realizes this operation by the linear separability. Based on this scheme, our parallel algorithm can be performed in {{{{O(L sqrt{M}`) MCC and inO(L log M) time on CCC with M PEs, when the length of M``-valued 1-D signal is L`` and window width is N`` Also, we show that the computation time of our parallel algorithm keeps constant when the window width N increases in order to achieve the best noise attenuation.

Due to heavy computational cost, deformable object simulation requires more effective collision detection method than rigid body simulation. However, when the CPU-based collision detection algorithm is purely applied to the GPU environment, the collision detection algorithm and the data structure optimized for the GPU environment are essential because the performance of the GPU can not be used properly. Therefore, we propose a GPU-based parallel collision detection algorithm for mass-spring system which is widely used for deformable object representation in this paper. The proposed method uses a parallel algorithm and data structure to reduce collision detection cost through GPU-based curling algorithm using AABB-Octree structure. In this paper, we prove the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing the intersection test of all triangle pairs in parallel. The results of experimental tests show that the proposed method improves the performance by about 24% on average. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed method can improve the performance of real-time simulation for deformable objects.

This paper proposes an effective parallel implementation of a physical modeling synthesis of guitar on the GPU environment. We used appropriate filter coefficients and adjusted the length of delay line for each open string to generate 44,100 six-polyphonic guitar sounds (E2, A2, D3, G4, B3, E4) by using physical modeling synthesis. In addition, we analyzed the physical modeling synthesis algorithm and observed that we can exploit parallelism inherent in the length of delay line. Thus, we assigned CUDA cores as many as the length of delay line and effectively implemented the physical modeling synthesis using GPU to achieve the highest performance. Experimental results indicated that synthetic guitar sounds using GPU were very similar to the original sounds when we compared their spectra. In addition, GPU achieved 68x and 3x better performance than high-performance TI DSP and CPU, respectively. Furthermore, this paper implemented and evaluated the performance of multi-GPU systems for the physical modeling algorithm.

Traditionally, Linear Shift Feedback Register (LFSR) has been widely employed to implement Cyclic Redundant Check (CRC) codes for a serial input. Since many applications including network and storage systems demand as high throughput as ever, various efforts have been made to implement CRC hardware to support parallel inputs. Among various parallel schemes, the look-ahead scheme is one of the most widely used schemes due to its short critical path. However, it is very cumbersome to design HDL codes for parallel CRC codes since the look-ahead scheme is inevitable to consider how register and input values move in the next cycles. Thus, this paper proposes a novel CRC hardware generator, which automatically produces HDL codes given a CRC polynomial and parallel factor. The experimental results verify the applicability to use the proposed generator by analyzing the synthesis results from the generated HDL code.

Recently, the GPU computing method has been utilized to improve the performance of the physics simulation field. In particular, in the case of a deformed object simulation requiring a large amount of computation, a GPU-based parallel processing algorithm is required to guarantee real-time performance. We have studied the parallel structure design method to improve the performance of the mass spring simulation method which is one of the methods of implementing the deformation object simulation. We used OpenGL's GLSL, a graphics library that allows direct access to the GPU, and implemented the GPGPU environment using an independent pipeline, the compute shader. In order to verify the effectiveness of the parallel structure design method, the mass - spring system was implemented based on CPU and GPU. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves computation speed by about 6,000% compared to the CPU Environment. It is expected that the lightweight simulation technology can be effectively applied to the augmented reality and the virtual reality field by using the design method proposed later in this research.
